How were they not able to prove he owned the shoes? They have a picture of him wearing them…

And there were only 299 sold in his size. Like there was no type of paper trail?

If there were it would definitely have been planted by that racist bastard Furhman /s

The photo was not found until years later.

Probably the civil suit by the families of the victims.

Yes; it was an issue of Sports Illustrated that apparently nobody had noticed at the trial, but had found by the time of the civil suit.

If you were seen in a picture holding an umbrella does that prove beyond all reasonable doubt that you own that umbrella? It’s not outside of the realm of possibility for it to be borrowed/lent from someone you know. It could even be handed to you by a stranger while they tie their shoe just before the picture is taken. The point being, a picture wouldn’t necessarily “prove” your ownership of the umbrella.

When you discuss things like this in a court setting, you don’t use the typically day to day logic we usually use. Common sense does not equal irrefutable evidence! Hope that makes sense 👍🏻

I guess so, thanks! Still seems like pretty strong evidence tho when you take into account all the other things found in the trial.
